The John O'Ben and Megan podcast, thanks to Hello Fresh.
Your home advantage for delicious midweek dinners, everyone will love.
Hey, welcome to the podcast on a Monday where we kick things off, Megan.
You talked about how you're organised, very organized with what you want to be called as a grandma.
Yeah, it's a long way away, but I'm thinking glamour.
Glamas, I mean, that you do suit a glamour.
If anyone's going to be glamour, sounds like one of the Kardashians would surely be a glamour.
Have you heard anyone else using it before, surely someone else would must have used that, right?
to hurt it somewhere but chris jenna is lovey she's loving lovey oh the unusional
stepdad he's grumpur because he's quite grumpy he embraces it the kids call him grumpur is he
he'd be grumpy knows it he's not fine is he yeah and he's like a grumpur so yeah he's
embraced it so yeah so that's you get to nominate it right yeah well he's okay with it yeah he's
okay with it so it's like grumpur it's like a grandpa it's like a grandpa you know because we got four
sets for you know like obviously parents and split relationships and stuff like that so yeah it's
very confusing sometimes with the kids you know when they were little now obviously they've got the head
or the names to remember yeah yeah yeah the four sets of stuff so there's a grandma jenny and a grandma you
know grandma grandma you have to say grandma twice grandma grandma grandma grandma well you know like because
they'll go which their grandma there which grandma was that grandma Jenny or grandma grandma grandma yeah
I had two nannas and nana and granddad both it's like you should have to
nominate and separate like only one of them can be an Anna the other one's got to
choose something else yeah but then people want to be like I get it mom I wanted to be a grandma
Amanda's mom want to be a grandma so we're like I swear you can be grandma I'm not stopping you both
and be good and they'd already been called you know grandma and another you know another child as well
so it's going to know when Joyce does water get her grandma to someone else she's not going
like a nan it to you
grandma to you.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
And then you get the cousins going, is it grandma
or is it, Nana or what is it?
And then if they all come together for one function,
yeah, she's running multiple aliases.
It's kind of your last
your last chance in life to have a bit of a rebrand,
isn't it?
A rebrag, you know, we can get to that.
You're right, but someone has texts through
just after the show, Megan, said,
I've organised furniture from my daughter
when she moves into her own house,
which is currently seven years old.
Oh my God.
And they're just like, where are you putting the furniture?
Until then.
Just get out now.
I don't know if it's one of those situations.
You can fend for yourself.
You're old enough to get a job.
Yeah, so they're very organized.
Yeah, that is...
Are you saving furniture?
Are you thinking about that when kids move out of?
I feel like now...
Maybe back in the day you might have
or something that feels like a hand-me-down that's special.
But now it's like, well, you've got so many stores.
It's so cheap.
And where are you going to put it?
Yeah.
It's like, real cheap.
So much landfill you can buy out there nowadays.
It's the sad thing and the good thing.
You're right.
Back in the old days, people's antique furniture handed down through the generation.
And it would last forever.
Now it's like.
He's coming, mate.
We can get himself, you know.
Get your house kidded out for $12.
Yeah, it would be great.
Hey, well, you enjoy glamour, Megan, when it comes.
Yeah.
And you can enjoy glamour on the podcast right now.
John O'Benn and Megan.
The podcast.
The hits.
And you mentioned something in passing that really flawed us.
Something you've already organized, locked in 30 years in advance.
I have thought about
what I want to be called as a grandma
As a grandma
Because my mum
It always baffled me that she was really sold on granny
Because I was like
Granny's like really like old something
Yeah I mean you get to a point in life
Where you want
Some people take that rebrand very seriously
Don't they some of the grandparents
You're right
Others don't care others really do
Yeah
And I'm like well you can kind of choose
What you want to be called
So most times
Unless the kid's like my niece
And she says Dumas
And she says Dumas and said a grandma
That's stuck
And Jenny can't shake dumbar
Dumbar is quite good
But I wanted to
Rather than like grandma
I was like maybe
I'm gonna go for glamour
Glamma
Of course you are
Of course yeah
Glamma
She sits here in her fur jacket
She's gonna be
Yeah true
Glamas like I'll be with you soon darling
I've just got to go to my Botox and Pilates
I'm not a proper grandma.
I'm a cool grandpa.
Yeah, I'm a cool, grandma.
So you've locked that.
Has Andrew locked in his grandpah name?
No, not at all.
I don't think he's even thought about it.
No, I've never thought of that.
No, I look like one and I haven't even thought about it.
So this is what we want to chuck open.
Something that you've organised years in advance.
We've got a friend or three of us.
She's organized a funeral with a run sheet and everything.
Does she ever have that a constant update?
You would imagine she would probably.
of songs that she want to play and things that you know she's done some eulogy notes of people i think yeah she's written
notes of people it's like very much it's very depressing and also people like read out a script that
someone else is prepared like look yeah here's what i want you to say about me i tell you what i would
like and like you know i don't want to get things too morbid on a monday morning but you know the
coffin i want to make it a fun thing i would love a coffin covered in puns related you like i was
dying to get in here and things like that you know like you can get in here over my dead body
That's sort of the
I'm coughing up cash at this funeral
You know with coffin like coffin
That's what I would like
You're going to be one of those people
That like sends out a text message from the grave
To everyone at the funeral
Yeah he will
It's gag up a few things guys
Help let me out
Bit of an audio recording
A little Bluetooth speaker inside
It'll be an open casket
And then you look in and he's like
wearing some sort of costume
Yeah
Just put him down
Put him down
That's what I would like
That's what I would like
The only thing I've thought about, you know.
John O' Ben and Megan.
The podcast.
The Hits.
Old chilly one.
Jesus has been cold the last couple of days.
The Uber driver was right when we came back from Wellington.
He was like, telling me the temps for the next week.
And he was like, he was right.
It's cold.
It's a cold.
Did he was right?
Did he?
Oh, yeah.
I kind of, I got a two or three days in.
I'm not going to remember any of these.
He was like, a Tuesday, five.
I was like, okay, yep.
You know when you've lost Ben and he's just like scrolling through Instagram?
Oh yeah, yeah, no worries.
What have you organised years in advance?
And you could be, as we said, organizing a trip to Oprah
because every call that makes it on air this morning
is going to see Oprah Winfrey live and...
Do you say live in concert?
Oh, we're live.
She's live.
She's going to be here.
She's live in chat.
Conversation.
Here we go.
Yeah, Dainty and the Hits.
Welcome Oprah in conversation, presented by Lily.
Spark Arena, 14th of December.
Tickets on sale right now from Ticketmaster.
And she's been here before.
A couple of times, she's done another conversation.
before. Also filmed a movie
in the Deep South, A Rinkle in Time.
This is her glowing recommendation
from Oprah about New Zealand.
Traveled to New Zealand, it should be
on your bucket list. Put it on
your bucket list. This photo
is extraordinary. And look
at that water behind me. It is like crystal
blue. I mean, no
kind of Instagram
fixing up. You don't even need a filter.
No filter or nothing. It just is like
It needs to be an asterisk
though, because like it depends on what
part of New Zealand you go to.
Yeah, she's not looking at some of the beaches in Auckland.
Yeah, you can't swim in those because of poos.
They look nice, they look pretty.
They look pretty, just don't know swimming Oprah in those.
But down south where she was, yeah, beautiful.
Beautiful.
Take a walk up, Hobson, Streeter.
Yeah, there's bits that we hide.
We can hide behind curtains.
It's like every place in the world.
There is good things of bad things.
Which makes an entire place, doesn't it?
Yeah, but it's great to hear a loving in New Zealand.
That's what we want.
Yeah, and we want to send you to Oprah though right now.
It's great when the celebrities come.
We do just send them to the Big Bangers, don't we?
And that's all we should do.
Part of we sent from Prince Harry to Stewart Island for some reason.
He hasn't been back since.
No, he quit the rural family not long after that, I think.
Rachel, what have you organised far in advance?
Hi, it's kind of along the lines of the funeral, unfortunately,
but I think it's quite exciting.
I did steal the idea of someone else,
but what they're going to do is get cremated
and then put themselves in a firework and have a fireworks display.
Oh, that's quite cool.
That's cool.
Yeah.
Then you get burned up and scattered just by nature.
Exactly
What if it's not a very spectacular
As I have a pair of
Do you know how hard I'm working right now
To find
Baby you're a firework
Listen we're playing everyone
And be like Rachel
What a champion
We can put you in a sparkler or something
And everyone could spray your spray your research
Rachel
We're going to hook you out with double pass
To see Oprah thanks to sharing that with us this morning
Enjoy
Good on you appreciate it
I imagine a lot of weddings
are organised years and advance
sometimes when people
don't even have a significant other
I know, they've got everything planned out, you're right
seating plan, who's coming, who's not the only thing
missing is the person you're marrying
baby names for some people as well too?
Oh yeah, I picked out my son's baby name years
in advance, yeah
Alcindra, how are you in Castle Point
this morning? Yeah, very good, thank you,
how are you? Good, cold is it?
Yes, Shirley.
All right, Lucinda, what have you organised
years in advance? Well, it's not me
and it's again along the funeral lines
that my parents have both got their coffins
are good to go
mum's like standing up in the garage
for the trellis and wine
dads came
there was a voicemail on the arts machine
saying you're very from the men's shed here
girl can you come and collect your tiny home
you're tiny home
yeah and then he goes
hey can you come and give me a hand to get this thing
off the back of my track place I've got it in town
I was like what the hell is it
He goes, oh, it's just a coffin.
So we had to go and drag his coffin off the back of the truck.
Oh, my goodness.
They're both so sorted.
It's good to go.
They're going to die now.
They've just got to die now.
And are they just sitting in the garage?
Yeah, sitting in the garage.
I don't know if I'd like to see that every day.
It's a nice reminder, though, isn't it?
If you're heading.
Yeah, well, hey, thank you for showing that with us,
as weird as it is for a lot of us.
So you're going to get yourself a double past Oprah and joy.
John O'Benn and Megan
The podcast, The Hits.
Very excited that we actually had a win over Genzi,
producer Grace, on the show on Friday after the program.
Grace and producer Troy have been fastidiously learning all 47 U.S. presidents
in a song in chronological order.
Who knows why?
Yeah, why you might ask, we're not sure, but she's sort of hard.
It's taking a lot of their time, but that's become their full-time job.
The radio is kind of the side hustle job at the moment.
Here's a little day.
They're only sort of, you know, partially through learning them all.
Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson,
James Madison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams.
So then after the show Friday, we had a little plan, didn't we,
a mischievous plan, where we had a little air bud,
air pod in Megan's ear.
You were awake, sick one of the days last week,
so we made it up that you were like at home learning this while you were sick.
I spent the whole time learning it, yeah.
Learning the president's names.
My headphones could cleverly cover the air pod.
And Larissa from the office was
reciting the presidents in your ear
And here's how it played out
Grace, producer Grace
Genzi, producer Grace
And producer Troy
Have both been learning something very
And we're not going to test you
We're not testing
Very nerdy
It's pretty nerdy
What we are doing
We're trying to learn all the presidents
The US presidents
In chronological order
And we are up to 27
How many are there?
47
47 so we're like halfway
Over halfway guys
Do you know
We're going to tell you some new
and you're not going to be happy.
No.
Did Megan learn it?
I will actually cry.
Megan yesterday.
What did you,
what did you try and do yesterday?
That's not funny.
A lot of time on my hands.
I told you that I was going to do it.
I literally,
no,
I will cry.
No,
this isn't funny, guys.
I told Troy yesterday,
Megan does it.
I'm going to be bloody.
Are you serious?
Are you serious?
She tried to learn it yesterday
and we were like,
okay.
So I've just,
I've learned the names.
So she,
do you shut your laptop?
Okay, this is just a raw.
Okay, she got,
okay, you've got your eyes shut.
Okay.
I don't know if you're right or wrong.
We know until 27.
Okay, okay, go.
George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe.
You're going really slow.
You're going really slow.
Andrew Jackson.
Martin Van Buren, that's my favourite one.
William Henry Harrison.
Grace is so sad.
Grace is so sad.
As you think I'm going to cry.
Abraham Lincoln.
Yeah, okay, good one, big bagger.
Guys, I actually think I'm going to cry.
This isn't funny.
William McKinley.
Theodore Roosevelt.
We got up to Roosevelt.
Oh, someone Howard, Taft.
William Howard Taft.
Grace has spent six days on this.
Megan spent less than a day, and you've already passed what Grace and Troy have now.
Key Hardy.
Yeah, she's such a dickhead.
Richard Nixon.
I see Watergate, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, I can't.
Oh, you're on the home straight, you're on the H, get this, take us home.
George H. Bill Bush, Barack Donald, Joe Donald.
Wow, all 47 presidents.
In one day.
In one day.
Now, Grace, you spent a week on this.
Grace's arms folded, could look more Gen Z at the moment, side eyes going on.
I'm not doing anything else for you guys.
You haven't been doing anything for the last six days
but we were spending
probably like 20 minutes in a time learning
and that's over like seven days
Megan had a whole freaking day
maybe I'll pull a sticky
Yeah
I'm actually fucking Megan
I said yesterday Troy
I was like I swear to fucking God
If Megan
She told me the day before
I was like if Megan does it
Bloody pulls a sticky
And if she learns it
I'm really fucking fuck
And and I still feel like no
47
What listen you can still finish it
No, I don't even want to finish it now.
It's the our thing.
Look, give me your thing.
Your Megan and Joy thing.
Oh, why didn't you include me in it?
Because producers need something sometime, okay?
You guys get all the glory.
Yeah. Oh, Grace.
Well, hey, well...
No, I bet you're so emot.
I have to believe.
Don't leave, don't leave.
Before you do, there may have been like an earpod.
And Megan...
You guys just said it!
Larissa was in the other room.
The officer of the office is telling you.
I was actually going to cry.
Oh, my.
The best. Oh, thank God.
Just keep learning.
Now you've only got half of them to go.
I don't let you guys know when me and Troy sing the song, it's going to be a full performance.
Okay, great.
It's easy.
Just put it in a earpiece in.
John O'Benn and Megan.
The podcast.
The Hats.
Thank you for joining us.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend.
We emceived another event on Saturday night.
Megan, I honestly believe there isn't an event in this country.
We haven't emceeded yet, Ben Boys.
Baby of the year, a human trafficker of the year.
We've done it all.
Done it all.
But it was a wonderful.
a wonderful evening.
What was this one that you're into?
It's a house of the year.
House of the year. If it's got of the year at the end of it, we'll be there.
But what I do to appreciate too, and no matter what age you are from when you receive your
first award, you know, for toileting correctly at kindergarten, right through to when
you're an adult, the joy of getting an award remains the same.
Yeah.
Everyone feels great getting an award, don't they?
Yeah.
Well, just your adults, you don't seem to get too many.
Yeah.
So it's great.
Who invented the award?
They're a bloody genius.
Make us feel better about ourselves
But yeah, on the way to the event
Got chatting to the Uber driver
Is Perr, locked in the conversation capsule.
Did you sit in the front?
No, no, I didn't.
You got into my head about sitting in the front.
You put me in the front when all three of us
were in an Uber.
Yeah.
Yeah, we do.
We're like, we can have some quiet time.
As soon as the position, yeah.
We literally let you go.
He was telling me...
He was the need to fill the silence.
Yeah.
He was telling me that he's off on a trip.
Wednesday.
International trip.
Now, how's this for a money-saving hack?
He's blasting through like 12 countries,
and what he's done is he's catching connecting flights everywhere.
So he'll catch a connecting flight to a country,
and in doing so, they have a layover.
Right.
And then the airline puts you up in a hotel for one or two nights.
He does a blistering tour of the country or city he's in,
then hops on another connecting flight.
So he gets free accommodation all of them.
around the world.
Why are they putting them up, though?
I don't know.
This is this heck.
It just feels like, why would the airline put you up?
Unless they, like, they can't fly you.
That seems like, I call BS on that one.
How do you...
Why would he lie to that?
How do you book a connecting flight?
I didn't ask these questions.
I was just like, wow.
Where's the chat, mate?
Where's the chat when they come out and go, why is the airline paying for you?
Look, I understand if you can't, like, the airline's,
I'm sorry, that flight's now cancelled or whatever, you know, we have to reschedule.
They may offer.
Yeah.
Because you can't, like, your connecting flight inevitably has an end.
Yeah.
So you can't.
We have to say it's a travel hack, and I'm like, well, is it actually a travel hack?
Well, he's even pretty happy with himself.
So how do you go from New Zealand to, like, Italy, and then I want to connect a million times in between?
Plus, the airline pay for my accommodation wherever I go on the way.
And then you have, like, 12 hours.
Yeah.
Yeah, a lot of the layovers aren't longer than 12 hours.
Do you like to me about that?
I don't know.
I know.
I mean, I'm not saying he's a lot, but I just like, I want to know more about that.
You don't believe him.
You don't believe him.
How long do you think he has before the connecting flight takes off?
He said one or two days.
Oh, rubbish.
You're calling rubbish?
I feel, I feel dirty.
I feel lied to.
Maybe he's like, this guy's so annoying.
I'm just going to make up a story.
Maybe.
And he all spouted it on the radio, watch this Monday morning.
And just lucky enough to make it over there was Chiefs player, Leroy Carter, who,
I had to get an emergency passport because, well, something happened to his with the dog.
I got my passport out, take a photo to send to the manager,
and I just left it on my bedside table.
And then, yeah, my partner went to the gym and left my dog home alone.
And then it's gone down the hallway and jumped on the bed
and then just chewed up passport and my teeth aligners.
Yeah, the bloody invisible line as well.
Nightmare.
Nightmare.
So, yeah, we played that on Friday.
And so many great stories about missing passports.
but then after the overflow of that
just animals eating stuff
they've got a really interesting take on the food pyramid's animals
don't they'll give most things a crack a lot of them right
it's hard too because you love them so like
there's so much admin when they eat something
is your dog even last night actually like a dog woke up in the middle of the night
just you know when you hear that that noise when they're going to be sick
and then I'm like who gave the dog steak and I was like well who got steak
and then it was like no it was bark it was bark
Oh, my dog eats barking.
I was like, yeah, I was like, we didn't give him steak.
And I was like, oh, so I was like, no wonder he's vomiting up.
But they don't, they don't discriminate between a piece of steak and a piece of bag.
No.
Like, it's all fair game.
For him, me, it's like, I'll give this a crack.
And it didn't work out well at like three in the morning last night.
But anyway, wins and losses.
What about your dog, Lee?
Leo.
Learoy.
He's been, he loves bark as well.
He loves paper towels.
He loves, why do they eat grass?
That's when they're sick, isn't it?
Upset summit, apparently, I don't know.
And then they come in.
and they find the patch of carpet
you know like there'd be like lots of wood
floor or something but they find the one patch of carpet
to spill on. If we ate like dogs
we'd be locked, we'd be institutionalised
wouldn't we? Yeah. Now Sue
what did your cat eat mate?
I got home to find a whole lot of like
what I thought was cardboard on the floor
because she loves biking cardboard
and it was a $500
scratchy ticket that I had won.
No. Yeah, the barcode
the numbers, every
being just munted.
Oh, so.
Like, again, the cat, like, was it next to some bacon or, like, something on the bench?
Like, why?
She's just always loved eating boxes.
Like, you put a box down, she jumps in it and starts eating it, and spitting out the cardboard pieces.
She's, yeah, weird.
Now, I don't want to go dark, but did the cat use up one of its nine lives that day, Sue?
Oh, she's used up a few of her lives.
Yeah.
Jesus.
So no way you can get the money?
No.
Not without the...
If the barcode had been wrecked, that was okay.
But if it had the numbers, they would have been able to do something.
I mean, they could just take your word for it, too, as well, the Lottery's Commission.
Oh, in that case.
I've won first division, I said to have lost my ticket.
Yeah, I could have said it was a $250,000.
I've never heard anyone that winning that much on the Scratchies.
Oh, that's impressive.
And you kind of didn't.
I have a so she gave us call on Friday,
but if you give us call right now,
0,800 the hits and tell us
the most unusual or impressive thing
that your animal had a cracket eating.
I'd love to hear from you.
Oh, 800 the hits.
We've got double past to Oprah Winfrey
for every caller that gets on the airways today.
God, maybe it was tickets to something.
Imagine if you doggate your Oprah tickets.
Or tickets to a gig,
given how expensive they are these days.
Well, then you'd be like, thank God I got the email or two.
Yeah, well, Joe.
The podcast, the heads.
Now, what the animals ate.
Great rock-stallad radio topic this one is.
It's done us well over the years, the old what the animals have eaten.
Thank you to the animal community for providing such great content over the decades.
One minute, the thing is with animals.
You mentioned your dog eating steak one minute and then a huge chunk of bark for next.
And they go from a $40 gourmet meal to cigarette butts to everything.
Nothing is off limits for them.
So, Debbie, we've been hanging out for yours.
your animal eat, Debbie?
Well, this is back in the 80s
when we still got things
delivered by Pote.
Right.
So came home
and the front lawn is absolutely
covered in tinfoil-tight paper.
My sister and I
have a good look around
and we're trying to figure out what it was
and we figured out it was Easter egg paper.
Oh no.
The front lawn.
The whole front lawn.
Was it a dog?
Yep.
So what we did was we tried to
pick it all up and we found a little remnant
of a car. We had been
sent a whole pack of Easter eggs
from my auntie in Australia and
the dog had demolished the lot.
Oh, not good for chocolate. No dogs
can't have chocolate. Well, I think dogs
back in those days, maybe they were made of
tough stuff because the dog was fine.
He was a lab and no vet needed.
Really? That's like us with peanuts.
We've got all precious about peanuts, haven't we?
Some countries, there's no allergies to
peanuts because they have peanuts from day dogs.
Well, I don't know, but this dog ate the whole lot, and we were pretty broken those days,
so my sister and I were destroyed at the lack of chocolate.
We're going to give you a double pass to Oprah.
You think you've been sharing that with us.
It feels unusual that dogs can't eat chocolate when they eat so many other stuff that you're like,
well, why they're eating that?
Correct.
Then chocolate is the bloody kryptonite?
But labs have got an eye in guts, right?
They'll eat anything, survive anything.
The in-laws dog ate to the entire Christmas cake on Christmas.
stomach and that's a heavy piece
of food too. So, like, one of the ones that have alcohol
on it? I don't know.
I can't remember.
Is it kind of the fruity sort of cake? Yeah, yeah.
And he was just like, you hit his stomach
and he was just like a rock.
And you're like lying on his back with his legs in here.
Too much cake.
Brendan, morning to you.
Hey, morning, guys.
Lovely to have you on, Brendan. The animal ate what?
So it was when I was growing up in South Africa,
we had a pet, egg-eating snake.
and we used to let it out for hunting like eggs every day.
Hold on, so that's a sentence you done.
A pet egg eating snake.
So you had a snake, you'd let it out for hunting?
Yeah, yeah, you had to let it out every day.
And you'd hide an egg, like a raw chicken egg.
Oh, for it to find.
Okay, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
And then the one day I was rushing off to school,
and I couldn't find my assignment that I had done for the night before.
And we found it later mixed up in the egg shell
that the egg kind of poops out at the end.
Oh, so the snake had eaten your assignments.
Snake ate my homework.
Yeah, so was it, yeah, and this was trying to hard to actually give that excuse,
but it was a real excuse.
You're pretty, like, casual about this whole situation.
This is very unusual that you had a snake that you'd let out of its cage.
But, hey, I guess that was just growing up for you.
Yeah, they're harmless.
They're harmless, because snakes, yeah.
Can you, like, really play a prank on someone and hide the egg in their, like,
handbag or something?
That's, uh, yeah, you must come to New Zealand and you're like, you guys are really soft over here with your animals.
Or not, or not, maybe not, maybe the snake ate the end of that, come by our phone call.
We're going to give you a double pass to Oprah.
John O'Benn and Megan.
The podcast.
The hits.
You've been souping up your vehicle, Megan.
Yeah, you've seen my car.
Is it a mini?
No, it's a, Sanong.
It's a bit of a, um, man of car.
Looks like a mini.
Oh, thanks.
Yeah.
Looks like a mini sort of cooper.
Identify as a minnie.
It identifies it.
It's a saying young that identifies as a minute.
It's just like a little, like, I don't know, Nana car.
Something too fancy.
But yes, I am into Formula One, which is quite the opposite to my car.
Yeah, I don't know.
I should have said something.
You should have brought that up, for that or twice.
I'm making it my whole personality.
You are.
But my best friend is also into it, and she has helped me put a little feature on my little
Nana car to make me feel pretty cool when I get into it.
Okay.
Okay, and here it is.
When I plug in my phone and it goes through to like car play,
which I realise everyone can't, it doesn't have,
there's a little feature.
You can make it play something.
So this plays every time I turn on my car.
It's lights out and away we go.
Which is the start of a race.
Every Formula One race, they always say.
So that's when you start your car.
Does it make you want to be honest?
is to make you want to drive faster.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But my car only does, you know.
But it would put time pressure on, can you be your lap time to work every morning?
It really does.
And then you put your GPS in and it says like 501 and you're like, I'll show you 501.
Yeah.
And it really takes the wind out of that sales wind.
It's like, well, I'm just driving to pack and save.
It's lights out and away we go.
Give you a fright, though, wouldn't it?
Yeah, sometimes I get into the car and I forget about it.
And then all of a sudden it'll go, it's lights out and away.
It's like terrifying.
but feel pretty cool.
How many speeding tickets
until you consider yourself
a professional race car driver?
How many demerits?
Yeah, I don't know.
It would put a lot of pressure on you though, wouldn't it?
Yeah.
To just go fast.
Yeah, it does.
Good feature.
But after I watch a race as well,
like I want to like, oh no.
You should take up like go-kart riding or something, you know?
No, because I think I'd actually probably hurt myself.
I think I'd roll the car.
You are quite competitive, aren't you?
Let's take you to the go-cat tree.
That's a great idea.
Yeah, take me going along there.
Wouldn't it be amazing if we beat me
get on the go-kart trip?
I won't.
I have no interest in go-kart riding at all.
He's a lot of enthusiasm.
He even called a go-kart rider.
Any work trip, the go-kart rider, I'm like, huh,
not for me.
We did it for a Christmas party.
Because you want to get so competitive and it's just such a...
I'm not like that with paintball.
Paintball's not for me.
Yeah, go-kart's my honor, really.
Yeah, you won, great, good on you.
We went around the same track over and over again fast for me.
I'd be like, slamming him off the track.
Yeah, I'm like, oh, yeah.
You won great, good on you.
He'd be the most
unenthusiastic Formula One driver
Yeah
Well, yeah, well done
Yeah, no, you lax, whatever it is
Good on you, well done
Well on Max Verstaffin
Or whatever your name is
I have a lot of enthusiasm
With zero skill though
I would definitely
Roll the car
Drove to work
You basically just drive to work
Without anything of an accident
That's all it is right
Do that every day
Not that impressive mate
Some days I don't
To be honest
But most days I do
Yeah
John O' Ben and Megan
The podcast
The Hats
Well, every couple of years in our household, it's kind of like the NBA draft, really.
The kids, they can get into a conversation of, you know, who they would prefer as parents.
Okay.
Apart from, you know, us.
Okay.
They're biological parents.
Right.
And they do chuck out options.
Back in the day, I think it was like Charlie Demelio, Poppy.
Yeah.
An Iron Man, like some of the Avengers and things like that.
And that's right.
They settled on Charlie Demelio and Iron Man, which was.
probably a 40-year age gap
between Robert Downey Jr. and
Charlie D'emelio.
Anything's possible?
A bit strange.
A bit strange.
People would frown, the society would frown upon that marriage.
And then, so, the conversation dipped around again.
It's moved on now.
There's a couple of options for the fathers,
LeBron James, Stephen Adams,
good strong basketballers, taller.
It would probably be far better.
You know, all I do with basketball is just rebound a ball.
They could actually play with.
with Oscar and then probably was wanting Sabrina a Sabrina Carpenter
as well again
Sabrina what's she early 20s
she's like 25 yeah right yeah
is that possible I don't know if she's quite ready to settle down
I'm not yeah I was Sabrina gonna take you to bloody
dancing yeah go to pair and teach her interviews
she's got her own stuff going to dance
yeah she'd actually teach you to dancing she'd be actually quite good at that
doesn't actually have to take you to dance you can do it in the house with her you're right
yeah that's a good point
It's a humbling experience, knowing that there's better people out there than you at your job.
Who would you replace yourself with?
In what form?
In parenting.
Oh, geez.
I mean, I haven't actually thought about that, but, yeah, I mean, I always think about that when people have the best dad mug or something.
You're not.
Just be honest.
Chris Hemsy was the dad.
He's a better dad.
Can I replace my husband?
So that I'm there to enjoy it.
Oh, I see what you say.
You're replacing the dad of the kids.
Yeah, I want to replace anyone better.
like better than me
that's not fun
okay well I was
said to the kids I was like well
we're on the topic
I'll take bloody blue ivy
she's got a Grammy
she's doing better than you guys
haven't got a Grammy
okay for having this conversation
back and forth
North West
she's successful
yeah but now it's getting weird
you're trying to claim kids and stuff
so yeah it's a bit weird
I was like I don't know what to say
that's a bit weird
oh I'm not allowed to do it back
no more successful children
yeah
